Process for the Preparation of a Catalyst The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of a catalyst useful for liquid-liquid sweetening LPG and light petroleum distillates.
5 More particularly the invention relates to the preparation of sulphonamides of various metal phthalocyanines suitable as catalysts and their use for liquid-liquid sweetening of pentanes, LSRN, cracked naphtha and regeneration of alkali in the mercaptan extraction from LPG, pentanes, LSRN and light thermally cracked naphtha o It is well known that the presence of mercaptans in the petroleum products like LPG, naphtha, gasoline, kerosene, ATF etc is highly undesirable due to their foul odour and highly corrosive nature. These are also poisonous to the catalysts and adversely affect the performance of tetra ethyl lead as octane booster. Although there are several processes known for the removal of mercaptans from petroleum products, the most 5 common practice is to oxidize the mercaptans present to less deleterious disulphides with air in the presence of a catalyst. Generally, the lower mercaptans present in LPG, pentanes, LSRN and light thermally cracked naphtha are first extracted in alkali solution and then oxidized to disulf des with air in the presence of a catalyst. The disulphides, being insoluble in alkali solution, separate out from the top and the alkali 20 is regenerated. In the liquid-liquid sweetening the lower mercaptans present in petroleum products like pentanes, LSRN, cracked naphtha etc are converted to disulphides by direct oxidation with air in the presence of alkali solution and catalyst.
The higher molecular weight mercaptans present in petroleum products like heavy naphtha, FCC gasoline, ATE and kerosene are oxidized to disulphides with air in a C <: e,: i i.:. C : '
fixed bed reactor containing catalyst impregnated on a suitable support like activated carbon (Catal. Rev.-Sci. Eng. 35(4), 571 -609 (1993).
It is also well known that the phthalocyanines of the metals like cobalt, iron, s manganese, molybdenum and vanadium catalyze the oxidation of mercaptans to disulphides in alkaline medium. Among these cobalt and vanadium phthalocyanines are preferred. As the metal phthalocyanines are not soluble in aqueous medium, for improved catalytic activity their derivatives like sulphonated and carboxylated metal phthalocyanines are used as catalyst for sweetening of petroleum fractions. For 0 example use of cobalt phthalocyanine monosulphonate as the catalyst in the fixed bed sweetening of various petroleum products (US Patents no. 3,371,031; 4,009, 120; 4,207,173; 4,028,269; 4,087,378; 4,141,819, 4,121,998; 4,124,494; 4, 124,531) and cobalt phthalocyanine disulphonate (US Patent No. 4, 250, 022) tetra sulphonate (US Patent No. 2,622,763) and the mixture thereof (US Patent No. 4,248,694) as catalysts Is for liquid-liquid sweetening and alkali regeneration in mercaptan extraction of light pekoleum distillates has been reported. The use of phenoxy substituted cobalt phthalocyanine as sweetening catalyst (Ger Often 3,816,952), cobalt and vanadium chelates of 2,9,16,23-tetrakis (3,4-dicarboxybenzoyl) phthalocyanine as effective catalyst for both homogeneous and fixed bed mercaptan oxidation (Ger Often 20 2,757,476; Fr. Demande 2,375,201) and cobalt, vanadium chelates of tetrapyridinoporphyrazine as active catalysts for sweetening of sour petroleum distillates (Ger offen 2,441, 648) has also been reported.

It is well known that the catalysts used for the liquid-liquid sweetening of petroleum fractions like pentanes, LSRN etc and regeneration of alkali in the mercaptan extraction from LPG, pentanes etc are di-, tri-and tetra sulphonates of metal phthalocyanine particularly those of cobalt and vanadium phthalocyanines; s cobalt phthalocyanine sulphonates being specially preferred.-The cobalt phthalocyanine sulphonates differ in activity and in their solubility characteristics depending upon the number of sulphonate functionality leading to problems in their use as catalysts.
0 Cobalt phthalocyanine disulphonate a commonly used catalyst in liquidliquid sweetening and alkali regeneration is extremely dusty in the dry fine powder form and causes handling problem. To overcome this problem cobalt phthalocyanine disulphonate is admixed with water and commonly used as a slurry. However, with insufficient mixing the cobalt phthalocyanine disulphonate precipitates out from the is slurry. Moreover, even if the slurry is mixed sufficiently, it retains the cobalt phthalocyanine disulphonate in suspension for a particular length of time only, beyond which the slurry becomes extremely viscous and may form gel, making it very difficult to remove the material from packaging. Cobalt phthalocyanine tetrasulphonate, on the other hand, is highly soluble in water and its use can eliminate 20 precipitation and gel forming problems associated with the use of cobalt phthalocyanine disulphonate. However, it is reported that cobalt pthalocyanine tetrasulphonate has lower catalytic activity than cobalt phthalocyanine disulphonate (US Patent 4, 885,268). Further, preparation of the metal phthalocyanine disulphonates by reacting metal phthalocynines with oleum has handling and working-up problems.

During our investigations on the development of new sweetening catalysts, we observed that metal phthalocyanine sulphonamides to be active catalysts for liquid liquid sweetening of light petroleum products (Indian Patent No 1,53,190, Indian 5 Patent No. 1,52,541 and Ind. J. Tech. 25, 397-400 (1987)). In these patents and literature a procedure for making cobalt phthalocyanine sulphonamides has been reported. This method involves treatment of cobalt phthalocyanine with chlorosulphonic acid followed by arnidation with ammonia gas. However, the catalyst yield and activity was found to be low. Hence the present invention 0 describes improved process for the preparation of metal phthalocyanine sulphonamides in considerable higher yields and with very high catalytic activities for both liquid-liquid sweetening and alkali regeneration.
The objective of the present invention is to provide an improved process for the 15 preparation of metal pEthalocyanine sulphon mides suitable for use as catalysts for liquid liquid sweetening of pentanes, LSRN, cracked naphtha etc. and regeneration of alkali in the mercaptan extraction from LPG, pentanes, LSRN, light thermally cracked naphtha and the like, which obviates the drawbacks as detailed above.

In still another embodiment of the present invention the metal phthalocyanine sulphonamide catalyst is useful for both liquid-liquid sweetening and alkali regeneration in the mercaptan extraction from petroleum fraction such as LEG, pentanes, light straight run naphtha and cracked naphtha.
In the present invention the sulphonamides of the metal phthalocyanines suitable as sweetening catalysts are prepared by first converting the suitable metal phthalocyanine to the corresponding metal phthalocyanine sulphonyl chloride (mono-, di-, trim, tetrasulphonyl metal phthalocyanine or a mixture thereof followed by 0 reacting the metal phthalocyanine sulphonyl chlorides with different amines including ammonia to yield the metal phthalocyanine sulphonamides.
According to the present invention one part of suitable metal phthalocyanine is slowly added to 5-20 parts of chlorosulphonic acid at room temperature. The 5 temperature of the reaction mixture is slowly increased in stages to 90-1500C and maintained at this temperature for l5 furs. The reaction mixture is then preferably cooled to 40-800C and 1-7 parts of thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride or phosphorus bichloride or similar such reagent is slowly added. After this addition, in case of thionyl chloride the reaction mixture is heated to 60-800C and maintained at 20 this temperature for 0.5-3 furs. to case of other reagents the reaction mixture is heated to a suitable temperature for a suitable period. The metal phthalocyanine sulphonyl chloride thus formed is isolated by any suitable technique like hydrolysing the reaction mixture with ice cold water. This yields 1.6-1.69 parts of metal phthalocyanine sulphonylchloride with metal phthalocyanine tetrasulphonyl chloride Or c c c cc ( c r c c c rr c ( c C r ( < C c r c.( (; C ( C C ( ( (

i: as major component and trisulphonyl-, disulphonyl chlorides as the minor components. Similarly metal phthalocyanine mono-, di-, trim, tetrasulphonic acid or mixture thereof s is converted into the corresponding metal phthalocyanine sulphonyl chlorides in almost quantitative yields, by adding one part of the former to 3-8 parts of chlorosulphonic acid or similar such solvent at room temperature preferably under cooling conditions, heating the reaction mixture to 6080OC and then adding 1-5 parts of reagents like thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride or phosphorus lo bichloride or the like. The reaction is completed by heating for 0.5 to 5 hrs at a suitable temperature.
The present invention provides an improved methodology for the conversion of metal phthalocyanine sulphonyl chlorides, thus obtained, in to the corresponding metal 5 phthalocyanine sulphonamides suitable as catalysts for the liquid-liquid sweetening and alkali regeneration in the mercaptan extraction. The suitable metal phthalocyanine sulphonamides have -S02NHR group where R may be hydrogen, allyf, cycloalkyl, aromatic or any other group like substituted aromatic or long chain aLkyl with further substitution with different functional groups. The metal 20 phthalocyanine sulphonamides with -SO2NR1R2 groups, without any hydrogen attached to nitrogen, in general are not found suitable as sweetening catalysts due to their limited solubility in alkali solution.

aqueous medium such as chlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, alcohols, or N. N 5 dimethylformamide in the presence of acid-binding agents. The suitable acrid-binding agents are sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, tertiary organic bases such as pyridine or triethylamine or an excess of the attunes used for making sulphonamide. The reaction is carried out at pH values in a weakly acidic to alkaline ranges. The improved method of this invention for the preparation of metal phthalocyanine sulphonamides with S02NH2 groups consists of dispersing the wet cake of metal phthalocyanine sulphonyl chloride in water, alcohol or their mixture or similar such medium, and passing ammonia gas through the reaction mixture, either after bringing pH 15 of the system to about 7.00 or with pH adjustment at 0-20 C temperature till the reaction mixture is fairly alkaline. To this reaction mixture a catalytic amount of any organic base such as pyridine, piperi&e, triethylamine, and/or alkali solution is added. The reaction mixture is then stirred at room temperature for 10-120 minutes and at 30-
90oC for 10-60 minutes. The metal phthalocyanine sulphonamide is isolated by 20 acidification of reaction mixture.
Various metal phthalocyanine sulphonamides specially those of cobalt, manganese, iron and vanadium prepared according to this invention were found to be active catalysts for liquid-liquid sweetening of pentanes, LSRN, cracked naphtha and the r ( C , (.. ( i; c.

like, and regeneration of alkali in the mercaptan extraction from LPG, pentanes, LSRN, and light thermally cracked naphtha. The cobalt phthalocyanine sulphonamides prepared according to the improved process of this invention were found tO be crystalline compounds and can be handled without problems, unlike cobalt phthalocyanine disulphonate, which is extremely dusty. These catalysts can be used directly by dissolving in alkali and no prior admixing with water is required.
Unlike cobalt phthalocyarune tetrasulphonate, cobalt phthalocyanine sulphonarnide prepared according to the improved method of this invention were found to be very active catalysts for liquid-liquid sweetening and alkali regeneration. As the metal lo phthalocyanine sulphonamide prepared according to this invention is insoluble in acidic media, they could be easily isolated.
The present invention provides an improved method for the preparation of suitable metal phthalocyanine sulphonyl chlorides which involves first treating the metal 5 phthalocyanines with chlorsulphonic acid followed by addition of Lionel chloride to the reaction mixture. In place of thionyl chloride, phosphorus pentachoride or phosphorus bichloride or any other such reagent can also be used. The novelty of the present invention lies in the addition of thionyl chloride or such reagent which was found to be necessary to ensure complete conversion of all the sulphonic acid groups 20 to sulphonyl chloride followed by amidation a single step to get magnum yield of metal phthalocyanine sulphonamide.

Performance of evaluation of the catalyst in Liquid-Liquid Sweetening Performance evaluation of cobalt phthalocyanine tetrasulphonamide catalyst prepared from cobalt phthalocyanine was carried out in the laboratory using lOO-ml 5 naphtha in each batch. The experimental set up used consisted of a 250 rnl round bottom flask, fitted with a mechanical stirrer with Teflon blade, a gas inlet tube and a condenser. The feed was prepared by adding standard 1-hexane iol to light naphtha (loop. 60-9OoC) and its mercaptan sulphur content was estimated by UOP method 163-89. For preparing the catalyst solution, cobalt phthalocyanine 20 tetrasulphonamide [0.2 am] was dissolved in 100 ml of 7% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Three ml of this catalyst solution was diluted to 20 ml with 7% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The prepared feed (100 ml) was taken in the RB flask and the diluted catalyst solution (20 ml) added to it. This gave the catalyst concentration of 81.5 ppmw on feed basis. The stirrer (speed 1600 rpm) and air low (,, < c C 1; ; '

(rate about 0.8 lit/min) were then started. The reaction was carried out at room temperature (25-350C) for 10 min. The reaction mass was then transferred to a separating funnel and the treated naphtha separated. The layer containing the catalyst was reused with fresh naphtha doped with 1hexane iol (100 ml). The catalyst s solution was thus repeatedly used number of times. The mercaptan sulphur cor tent of the treated naphtha obtained after each experiment was estimated by UOP method 163-89.
